Overview

PC Watchdog is a program developed by Defender Pro. Upon installation and setup, it defines an auto-start registry entry which makes this program run on each Windows boot for all user logins. It adds a background controller service that is set to automatically run. Delaying the start of this service is possible through the service manager. A scheduled task is added to Windows Task Scheduler in order to launch the program at various scheduled times (the schedule varies depending on the version). The main program executable is PCWatchdog.exe. The software installer includes 19 files and is usually about 74.79 MB (78,419,110 bytes). AntivirusUpdater.exe is the automatic update component of the software designed to download and apply new updates should new versions be released. In comparison to the total number of users, most PCs are running the OS Windows 7 (SP1) as well as Windows 10. While about 81% of users of PC Watchdog come from the United States, it is also popular in Canada and United Kingdom.
